Penny Black Blog Day 3 & 4!

Hi!!

I am on the Penny Black blog this week and wanted to show you the card for today (and yesterday). Check out the blog for details on how I made them. All supplies are Penny Black and they are listed on the blog too!

Can you believe that is a peony background stamp embossed in snow powder? Me either!

the thin letters of the sentiment stuck easily on the wet embossing paste so there was no need for adhesive! I got the color combination from this pin found in my inspired by Pinterest board!

Tomorrow is my last day with Penny Black, I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am!

Your first is a very different creation – striking the way that the black die-cut frame pulls the eye towards the sentiment. A lovely use of asymmetry made more powerful by the subtle weight added with the vellum leaves. The snow powder embossed background stamping gives an amazing texture. Your second shows a striking use of colour for the sentiment which the textured background leads the eye down towards. I love the tiny touch of turquoise in one of the pennants which ties in with the sentiment. Paula (PEP)
